Stewart quite fancied some paella after I made Natalie’s Paella recipe the other night the only problem is – he doesn’t like seafood at all. I thought the perfect combination was chicken and chorizo instead and it was really delicious! The recipe is pretty much the same as the recipe I posted the other night (see the link above for Natalie’s Paella recipe) but this time I made the following changes:
I chopped two store bought roast chicken breasts and used this in place of the prawns. Since my last paella was a little wet I decided to use much less stock and so I only used 600ml of vegetable stock with 150g paella rice.
After cooking for 20 minutes I added the frozen peas stirred well and replaced the lid and turned the heat way down to almost nothing to allow the rest of the stock to be absorbed by the rice and the peas to cook.
Complete sucess!!

Pam, the last paela i made is with chicken and chorizo for the very same reason! Why are men so picky sometimes?
The colours are so perfect and it looks so tasty. I was going to post mine but the photos didn’t turn out well. The ISO and WB on my photos was all wrong! But this is so beautiful…

Don’t you think that the combination of chicken and chorizo complementary!
I think this is currently one of my favourite dishes with or without the prawns, it’s so yummy and comforting!!
